Controversial reality star Jospehina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has reminisced on ger life choices, expressing regret over making wrong financial decisions following her Big Brother Naija season 7 win.

She revealed that her biggest financial mistake was using her prize money to constantly cater to the needs of her family members, instead of investing the money.

She stressed that she was constantly the provider of her family, as they kept bringing financial problems to her to solve, and she obliged their requests until she stopped.

Phyna shared that her decision to stop footing the bills made her face problems from her family as they ensured to always call her out in the media.

She said:

"The mistake I made was using my Big Brother Naija prize money to support family members instead of investing it. I thought I was helping my family members and sorting out their debts. I was spending generously on them. None of the older family members called me to give me financial advice on how to invest or manage the money well.

“All of them were constantly demanding money from me for several stuff. I dug a lot of boreholes for family members. But the moment I started saying ‘No’ that was the beginning of my problem with family members. They complain and even call me out in the media whenever I can’t meet their demands. But now that the money has finished, I’m the only one facing the reality alone.

Recall that Phyna emerged the winner of Big Brother Naija season 7 in 2022, and she received a N100 million grand prize.

She received N50 million in actual cash and another N50 million worth of prizes from the show’s sponsors.
